(Pulaski, PA)…After several months of negotiations,
the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Dirt Late Model Series has reached an
agreement with Sunoco Race Fuels. The company will join an ever growing list of
nationally-recognized and respected companies that have chosen to partner with
the RUSH Series in its efforts to grow and develop Crate Late Model racing
throughout the Northeast.

Sunoco’s support of the Series will be multi-faceted and
broken into three very exciting and important parts! First, several hundreds of
dollars of contingency certificates redeemable for Sunoco’s 260 GT Race
Fuel at several RUSH/Sunoco authorized distributors will be available to RUSH
racers through a buy-pay-back program. The authorized distributor list will be
released soon and posted on the RUSH website.

Effective July 1, the first 50 RUSH drivers competing at
RUSH-sanctioned speedways that purchase 10 gallons of Sunoco 260 GT fuel
and show proof of purchase to RUSH Series Directors, will receive a certificate
valid toward the purchase of an additional five gallons of this product.
Through this program, over $2,000 in Sunoco 260 GT fuel will be distributed to
the racers! Drivers can contact the RUSH office for details as to how they will
receive their certificates for their free fuel.

Also effective July 1, RUSH, in conjunction with Sunoco
Race Fuels, will award the first racer that wins a Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC
RUSH Touring Series feature event utilizing Sunoco GR 260 a $500 bonus!

Sunoco Race Fuels will also sponsor the purchase of an
electronic fuel hydrometer. This state-of-the-art tool is utilized to check the
oxygen content that is in the fuel. Sunoco has also offered their expertise and
full support to both RUSH Competition Director Travis Harry and RUSH
weekly-sanctioned speedway tech officials in any and all fuel technical issues
that may occur.

Lastly, Sunoco Race Fuels will be the presenting sponsor of
the “Northern States Classic” Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Dirt Late Model
Series National Championship event, which will be held October 18-19 at Roaring
Knob Motorsports Complex in Markleysburg, Pa. Full details on this event will
be released soon.

“I cannot tell you how pleased we are to have Sunoco Race
Fuels become a major sponsor of RUSH,” stated Series Co-Director Vicki Emig. “I
have had a great relationship with Sunoco representative Russ Bradford for over
15 years and believe that together with our regional promoters, we can begin to
address the problem of the extreme cost of fuel that some of our racers are
currently utilizing.”

“Although we are not implementing a fuel rule, I believe we
are taking a substantial step in the right direction by partnering with Sunoco
and endorsing their Sunoco 260 GT product,” continued Emig. “The selection
of several RUSH/Sunoco authorized distributors for the Sunoco 260 GT product will allow us to control and maintain consistent and reasonable pricing
of this product to the racers in our region.”

“Bazell Race Fuels and Sunoco along with the RUSH Dirt Late
Model Series look forward to informing all the Crate Late Model racers
throughout the region that there are options out there for their racing fuel,”
stated Russ Bradford, Division Manager of Bazell Race Fuels. “The fuels that we
offer perform as well or better than the other high-priced fuels put on the
market by other companies.”

Bradford went on to say, “Vicki and I have done business
together for several years, and we feel very confident that Vicki along with
Mike Leone will make RUSH successful. With this said we feel that this is where
we need to invest our resources to not only help the Series, but also help the
racers. Sunoco Race Fuels has a long history of producing the most competitive
and consistent fuels in the industry as well as supporting many sanctioning
bodies across all types of motorsports.”

Sunoco Race Fuels also offers several other
reasonably-priced race fuel products that offer great performance for Crate Late
Model racers. For information on the Sunoco 260 GT and their other
reasonably-priced race fuel products such as 110 Standard, 112 Supreme and their
